CW Wanted: RP3 Washington DC

RP3_Logo

Holly Corrigan, Creative Services Manager at RP3 in DC, is on the hunt for a mid-to-senior level writer. From Holly, “RP3 is a 4-year-old, fiercely independent, 35+ people agency and growing fast. Our clients range from Johns Hopkins Medicine to Ripley’s Believe It or Not, plus freight rail, automotive, travel, museums, and performing arts venues. We’re doing some pretty cool work and building some pretty cool things, and you’ll help us do more. (And no, you won’t have to work on political attack ads or dysfunctional government websites, because we don’t touch that stuff.) You have at least 3-5 years experience, a great book full of integrated campaigns, an insane work ethic, and a bit of a start-up mentality. You communicate equally well with clients and code writers. And you’re intrigued by the idea of building a great agency in a town not necessarily known for them.” Awesome. To apply, submit resumes and portfolio links to the address below.

Vera Springett

goldstar

Vera is a creative lead/ACD at Avenue Marketing & Communications in Chicago, previously in-house at University of Phoenix. Lots of the work in her portfolio is collateral/digital that’s more informational than marketing, which means that there’s lots and lots of writing. Which is what lots of lots of companies are looking for in a copywriter, you know?

Josh Leutz

ball

Josh is a copywriter/ACD at Butler Shine Stern & Partners in Sausalito. His portfolio rocks. MC’s been hearing a bit of poo-pooing lately about Cargo—that while it’s clean, you can’t get the modern look you can with Squarespace. Might be true. And MC digs them both. But Josh’s portfolio proves that, if you’ve got the content, super-clean super-easy-to-nav is all you need.

Chicago Portfolio School Week: Justin Lake

TrainStairs

Chicago Portfolio School Week Wednesday features the one and only Justin Lake. Don’t miss Justin’s D&AD-winning campaign Be Average to combat obesity in the UK. “Since half the population is currently performing below average when it comes to physical activity, we decided to encourage the people of the UK to forget about overachieving and just Be Average!” Good times.

Mark Fulara

car

Mark is a copywriter at Avenue in Chicago. Branding Clarke company cars with a line that communicates both why the person driving the car is spraying chemicals and environmental friendliness is no easy task. But Mark’s line, “Love the Earth. Not mosquitoes.” is pretty much spot on. Especially if you’ve lived anywhere there are lots of mosquitoes. Hate. Mosquitoes.
